I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Amazed this wasn't already on DS tbh! This is a stunning place to fly on a clear day. The quarry is over 1km from end to end. The northern end of the quarry is still worked but the entire section with the lakes is empty. I have flown here several times on the weekends and have never seen a soul here.
I've marked a parking spot in the layby just down the road. Park there and walk back ~100m towards the roundabout. First entrance is a cottage with very sod off vibes (!). The next is a track that leads through the woods up the side of the quarry and all the way up the hill. There is a green fence that ends about 300m up the track. From there you can walk 20ft through the woods and you're on the moonscape rocks at the very southern end of the quarry. You can also walk further up the hill and fly from there too.
The footage I got this weekend was sadly garbage due to a poor set up - so I've linked a video I did here a while back.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 15/02/2026. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
